I am buying the orange ones for my grey mags when I get my tax return in a few weeks. Easier to recognize my mags at the range. Black Ranger plates too. 44Mag has a bundle in that configuration minus the ranger plates.

You have to buy whichever color is the most tacti-cool.

My "Load n' Store" mags have the grey MPIIs. My range mags all have the orange MPIIs.
The only reason I got the orange ones for my range mags was to make it obvious that my rifle had an unloaded mag in it when the bolt locked back and I set it down to change/relocate my targets. It also helps me quickly identify my mags over a buddies if we shoot together (no one else is buying the orange it seems  )Personally, I don't really guess it matters which color you choose ... unless, of course, all your AR furniture is orange ... then you definately should go with the orange

I use orange MPIIs in black teflon mags. It's like Halloween every day!

Anyone know if Brownells is stocking the new ones yet? If so I'll just buy whatever color they have.

+1 on the Grey
Just ordered 6 from 44mag the other day. Orange is too orange for my tastes. |

I go with the orange so I can find the empties in my range bag. It also helps me if I do a ammo check while doing slower paced drills.

Orange all the way, easy to see if the mag is empty, and aids in finding them when dumped specially in deep grass. Kida like the camouflage wallet thing, why in gods name would you want to carry a cammo wallet in the woods?

Well you guys are no help!
I think that is what I'm going to do. 10 new black Teflon D&H's with the gray followers (which I plan on putting away) and then orange followers for my current gray mags. I like the gray followers better but I think they blend with the gray mags too much. Thanks |

15 of the tan 1st gen in my grey mags that are perfectly fine still. And so far I have 18 of the new orange ones in my black teflon mags with 12 more already in black teflon mags inbound from 44mag.com. I like the orange ones for visual id reasons....

+1, no practical reason to go gray IMO, orange allows quick I.D.s under varied circumstances. But if they offend your delicate sensibilities, or don't match your tacti-cool gear, by all means buy the gray. |

Oh, I do agree no need to upgrade if you have the tan. A buddy of mine gave me some tan for this past Christmas and I put them in my 30-rounders. This was when Magpul was still talking about the Gen IIs coming out. So, I figured since the Gen IIs are out now, I would get them for my duty 20-rounders. I still want to replace the rest of my green ones with either the tans or Gen IIs. Seems like the tans should start coming down in price soon tho, eh? Last I checked, they still around $2+ each (same as Gen IIs) unless you guys know something I don't.

Orange for me for the same reason also. Easier to look and see why the bolt is back. Do I have a stoppage or do I see a follower? |

Werd, if they came in camo, I'd be all over, but for the time being I'll settle for the orange ones. Easy identification, and I like being bright and loud. So it fits me. But, I do have both grey and orange. |

+1 Orange
Top Ten Reasons To Get Orange GEN-2 Followers. * Easier to see if the mag is empty when you pull it out of your dump pouch. * If you aren't using a dump pouch, it'll be easier to recover your empty mags afterwards. * You don't have to wonder if it came from the batch that had too much flashing. * People chasing you will get distracted as you eject your empty mag while running away. * Easier to tell which end is up. * You have a better chance of convincing LEOs that it is for a toy gun. * Orange IS the uber-tactical color for this season. * Easier to find in a dark room. * Distracts the zombies when you throw your empties at them as they're mobbing you. * Leaves more gray ones for the rest of us. |

I just bought some Gen 1 Tan from DSG Arms but they only have a limited supply and for $1.75 they probably won't last long. I looked all over for them and DSG were the only ones who had them or got back to me |

How does Gen-II differ from Gen-I? More reliable?

Just got mine today.
While the photos make the orange ones appear almost red, they really aren't that bright in color. They look more like a faded orange color. -Frank |

Gen II followers have slight modifications to them. Enough to call them another Gen number. There is a little extra meat on the bolt lock tab. The simulated bullet is longer (not a long slant in the back.) There is a small ramp to kick the front of the bullet up some on the opposite side as the simulated bullet. Also the mid section were it comes in contact with the mag body is a bit smaller. Now i have at least one of each.  Left: Gen 1 Coyote, Top: Beta Red, Middle: Gen 2 Gray, Bottom: Gen 2 Orange Even Glow  Because i like Bling!

I think they are all gone now, but beginning next week our mags will come with the GenII in dark earth (a little darker than coyote GenI's).
